Worldwide, architects and engineers have put their heads together to

the world to get the full effect of the beauty and uniqueness of these
buildings.Take a mental break and check them out.

Yup, it has been proven that going out in the cold with wet hair will
not get you sick. However, if you’re all bundled up on the bus next to
someone with a hacking cough, you probably will get sick. Check out
these other winter health myths.

Hooray for popcorn! Popcorn goes on my list of favorite foods. I love
regular butter popcorn, cheese popcorn, carmel corn and kettle corn.
This holiday, mic popcorn with a little syrup and seasonings to make
popcorn balls. They will make a sweet, salty addition to
your holiday treats. Check out all the flavors you can make.

Yeah, it’s that time again. The holiday season is filled with all kinds
of goodies. I know my favorite part of the holidays are all of the
sweets and treats. Why don’t you give the gift of deliciousness and
bake something for your friends and family? Here are some ideas on how
to wrap your edible gifts.

Be more environmentally sound this holiday, and try
some environmental alternatives. Yeah, yeah I know most of your
decorations are already green, but are they eco friendly? Did you know
you can make a wreath out of moss? Or make your own holiday decorations
instead of buying them? Here are some more ideas.

Do you have a few items in your closet that are feeling neglected? Of course, clearing out garments for charity is a great idea,
but if you wanted to give them a second chance before saying good-bye,
and having fun in the bargain, perhaps you should have a Style Swap.
While my mom and I swap the same things back and forth all the time, I
did attend a Style Swap once, and it was both fun AND I came home with a
few new pieces for my wardrobe.

Many mothers already engage in a demi-swap, where they pass on
now-too-small children’s clothing to friends needing those sizes for
their own kids. But you can just as easily trade a size 12 dress for a
size 10 trench coat or a size 8 pair of jeans if you’re losing weight,
or find some nice maternity pieces for a future pregnancy. Between
different style tastes, sizes and seasons, there are a lot of different
possibilities to be had. Those clothes without a home at the end of the
swap will still go to charity, but you’ve saved yourself the expense of a
shopping trip, too! Make it a party with finger foods and a glass of
wine, and you’ve got a great time for a Saturday afternoon!

If you’re interested in the swapping, but maybe prefer it to be a
more on-the-side, personal activity, you can still swap online at Swapstyle.

Personally, I think I prefer the social version myself, even if I am not the same size as many of my friends.

If you’d be interested in participating in a swap in the community, make a suggestion below.
